Now protected with a surface coating to allow outdoor display – future generations can see and touch this fantastic machine from the 1950s.

Originally designed as an expendable target, the Jindivik’s features and reliability enabled it to fly many times without destruction. It had excellent speed, high-altitude performance, and the ability to conduct low-level flight over the sea. It could trail smoke, tow infrared and radio frequency decoys and fire flares to avoid destruction during live firings.

With some effort from the volunteers at Williamtown and a single
can of Nyalic, and a paint roller – the restoration will maintain this
bit of history for many years. With Nyalic being both removable
and replaceable, the integrity and provenance of this historical
asset are maintained
